new life begins

Well I did it...surgery is over and i am feelin great...It is hard to tell when you are full right now as you have to learn how to read your new tummy but I do know that if you get too much, it sure makes you nauseaus

Just take it slow! Congratulations on your surgery and wishing you great success! Jill

Hello Robin was just surfing the Nevada board and seen your post. I had lap band surgery on 10/12/06 just a few days before you. My surgeon was Dr. Kozar at Western Bariatric. We both started out about the same BMI my start was 39.9. So far doing well I thought the surgery and recovery was simple. My post-op swelling is down not feeling any restriction right now so trying to stick to the rules. I start mushes tomorrow....yikes!! How's your full liquid stage going. I'm in Winnemucca, NV and pass threw Fernly when going to Reno. Hubby and I also play paintball at Herby's Paintball in Fernly. The Nevada board sure is quiet! Take care and work that band!! Rebecca

Hi Rebecca, I am dooing good, slowed down a little with all the holiday foods but down 21 pounds and 22 inches since surgery so i am very pleased...I feel good and go back for my 2nd fill in Feb...Happy New Year to you...Robin
